What about adding a property to let the user decide the output format:
- "Output format" with two options: "Ambari Metrics Collector format" or
"Record based format"
- "Record writer": this property being used if and only if the "Record
based format" is selected
My primary objective was to have this reporting task usable in MiNiFi java
agents to send the metrics to a NiFi cluster that would publish the metrics to
AMS. But we could definitely use this reporting task to get the metrics and
store the data into another store such as Elasticsearch.
In any case, I'd add an "Additional details" page to provide information
about the schemas.
